A major field of research in the history of philosophy in Turin is the study of Kant's philosophy, of the so-called Aetas Kantiana, and of the development of Kantism and Neo-Kantism. Massimo Ferrari, Massimo Mori, Paola Rumore, have all published several books and articles on this theme and organized colloquia and meetings. Daniela Steila has also been working on Kantism and Neokantism in the framework of her studies on Russian Philosophy. Maria Antonietta Pranteda and Francesco Martinello have also done work in this topic.
